Ten tools a small commercial cleaning company considers, each priced for the same company from the vendor's own pricing page, with how the price is counted and a link to the source.
A commercial cleaning company with 13 people (3 in the office, 10 cleaners) and 12 buildings, each cleaned 5 nights a week: about 260 visits a month. Prices are in US dollars, per month, before tax, on monthly billing unless the row says otherwise. Tools priced per user are counted with all 13 people on the app; tools priced per job count one job per visit. Rows are in order of what that company pays.

The cheapest line is not the answer if the tool does not do the job you are buying it for. One honest sentence each.
Choose it if: You run recurring commercial contracts and want the schedule, the time clock, the crew's job card and the invoice in one system without a per-user bill. It does not do scored inspections, payroll or tax on invoices.
What FacilityCare IQ doesChoose it if: Time tracking and crew messaging are what you need, you already invoice elsewhere, and a janitorial-only vendor with a long track record matters to you.
Full comparisonChoose it if: Your problem is shifts, a time clock, chat and HR paperwork for any kind of workforce, and the client side lives in another tool.
Full comparisonChoose it if: You want bidding and a QuickBooks integration in the same product as scheduling and inspections, and a small per-user charge suits you.
Choose it if: Most of your work is quoted job by job, and you want quotes, job cards and invoicing in one app with no per-user fee.
Choose it if: Scored inspections are the product your clients buy, and scheduling, hours and billing stay in other tools.
Full comparisonChoose it if: Your clients audit a formal QA programme and you want deep inspection analytics, with scheduling and billing kept elsewhere.
Full comparisonChoose it if: You sell one-off jobs as well as contracts, or run other trades, and polished quoting and online payments matter more than a cleaning-specific job card.
Full comparisonChoose it if: You run a trades business, or cleaning alongside trades, and want quotes, jobs and invoices synced with your accounting software.
Choose it if: You have dozens of sites, a QA department and a procurement process that expects an implementation team.
